Have an exotic palace wedding

When it comes to destination wedding--Palace wedding is a whole new concept in the Indian wedding scenario. Indian forts and palaces found in the desert state of Rajasthan are ranked amongst the best in the world. After years of painstaking efforts these magnificent ruins were restored to their old charm and glory. Today most of the palaces have been converted to heritage hotels and lure visitors from around the world with their unique regal charm and world class comforts.

Little wonder that as wedding destinations, Indian palaces are matchless. It`s ambience makes you feel you are in a different world altogether. Imagine a grand courtyard with acres of lush beautiful gardens, groves, cascading fountains, shady trees, flowers, sandstone quarters and finely carved sculptures. A long drive through vast lawns leads you to the main palace building, where a grand portico extends a stately welcome. Few steps up the grandly laid marble staircase takes you to a massive lounge impressively done with antique portraits, princely statues and marble inlay works, transporting you to an era gone by. .

Every palace is a timeless jewel and exudes a charm of its own. These architectural masterpieces are the epitome of a legendary past, showcasing the opulence, valor and courage of the great Rajput rulers. While keeping the erstwhile flame alive they also offer all the comfort and luxuries of the modern world. Most of these properties are now converted into heritage hotels.
